our story

It all began on the evening of Nov 29th 2003, at former Chat Noir French Restaurant in Costa Mesa, CA. Brad approached me [Jana] and we instantly connected; it was love at first sight. The next 4 years that followed were a whirlwind of romance, growing pains, and adventures. We circled the globe, traveling to South America, Europe, and Asia. Then one night, Brad surprised me with a romantic beachside proposal. We made it official on August 23rd 2008 with an intimate wedding at a hip art gallery in Laguna Beach. A year later we finished redesigning our home in the beach village of Corona del Mar.

On May 18th, 2010, we were blessed with a sweet little miracle of our own, our baby boy Taj Leon. He stole our hearts and took our breath away! Then, 19 months later, his incredible little brother, Jax Franz, arrived on Christmas morning (December 25th) 2011. What an amazing gift we received! In an effort to slow down the clock and enjoy our beautiful family, in Spring of 2012, we sold our CA seaside home and moved across the country to our dream lake house in Brad's hometown of Bemus Point, a resort village on Chautauqua Lake in Western New York! Even though we are living a more slow paced life, we are living a life far from ordinary!

From the West Coast to the East Coast, our Grover family adventures continue! So won't you come along and join us on this journey of love, family, and travel we like to call our La Vida Grover!

NYC in The Fall 2016 Family Trip

Just before Thanksgiving, it was an NYC Fall roadtrip for this family!
Rad NINJA themed dining experience we shared together!




Central Park in the November is so magical!





Night at the Museum movie was the boys' favorite at the time, so we naturally had to visit where it all took place- the actual Museum of Natural History... one of the largest museums!











We took the boys to see their first NYC Show- we settled for STOMP because it was more time and kid friendly and a budget hit!  As the boys get older, it will be more of a treat to take them to go see the big Broadway hit musicals, and they will better appreciate them!  We always have to leave something special to experience and look forward to!





Of course, one of the main reasons for our trip to NYC was yet again another consulate appointment, but this time to apply for the boys' CZECH citizenship so the whole family had to be present at the appointment for the paperwork to be initiated and processed.
